This extended minor program investigates connections between contemporary Canadian society and culture, and a variety of Asian countries. Part of the program studies one or more Asian languages. The goal is to introduce students to the economic, social and cultural connections between Asian countries and Canada. The Asia-Canada extended minor along with another extended minor can be used toward a BA degree, or with a major in any bachelor’s degree, or use it toward a bachelor of general studies.
